California has begun to push legislation which would allow electronic books as an alternative to paper for K-12 public education (as reported here by the L.A. Times).
As someone who has been using various electronic books (nearly 400 books and journals spanning three different library systems) for over 10 years, I have come to rely on the research and search capabilities which only digital has to offer. I strongly support this option and I hope that California becomes the first of many states to adopt similar legislation.

Buying the Kindle is the best thing I have ever done for my reading. It was easy to learn my way around it; it operates very easily and I am reading far more than ever before.
I take my Kindle everywhere with me – just throw it in my purse and it’s there for me if I stop somewhere for a cup of coffee while shopping or if I’m waiting for an appointment. I even take it to the movies and read while I’m waiting for the picture to start.
We travel a lot and always used to take three or four hard cover books with us, taking up much space in our suitcases. Now all the books I might want for any length vacation are available on my Kindle.
My husband was so impressed with mine that he bought one two days later and enjoys it as much as I do.
Get one! You won’t be disappointed.
Gaile,
I completely agree.
I bought my Kindle back in March, well worth every penny.
I also use a digital library system called Logos, which I must say is second to none.
